Right. However:

1. It may still be possible to manually install Tails the way we
document it for Mac's these days, boot it, and from there
clone'n'install onto a (UEFI) USB stick. If this works, then
problem solved.

2. People who can afford a MacBook Air can also afford getting a USB
external DVD writer. I don't think that avoiding them the need to
do it is worth a. spending a lot of time on our side, and b.
risking to break things on other kinds of hardware.

#1 would be worth testing. Thanks in advance!
